Being a guy normally i will give a skip to Laura Mercier’s counters with my belief that they only carry ladies perfumes and one day got a chance to speak to a lovely promoter who introduced me to their line. Wow they do have good unisex frags. Tried Amber Passion ..very nice frag. Deep rich amber,woodsy, vanilla.. well done blend of notes..good longevity good sillage

Hmmm. This is similar to Serge Leutens Ambre Sultan without the herbs. I wish this had less sandalwood. Suitable for men or women with good sillage and longevity. If you are an amber fan, this is a good choice. Not sweet, not a gourmand scent. This perfume reminds me of Autumn.

I’m kinda late to the game on this one. I sniffed it the other day in the Asheville, NC Belk. It’s very nice; warm, smoky, rich and deep. As I was smelling it, I thought I had smelled it somewhere else. I kept telling my hubby “This smells so familiar!” Then it hit me; it smells very similar to Annick Goutal’s Ambre Fetiche. Looking up the notes to both, I can see why they smell so similar; the note listing is almost identical. Either way, it smells great! I already own Annick Goutal’s Ambre Fetiche, so I won’t be getting this one anytime soon.
Great cool weather scent for those that are big amber fans. Very cozy and warm, yet sexy!

Just bought it from Belks…Love the scent, but its gone within an hour. I can barely smell it after I apply it. Have no idea why I can’t get the sillage and longevity that everyone else seems to be getting! 🙁

Very pleasantly surprised by this. One of my blind buys based on reviews here, and it is so lovely. Very deep and lovely and rich.
Like one of the other reviewers here, I had the strange experience of not being able to smell it properly on first spritz. Luckily I gave it another go and I was surprised to have missed such loveliness. This is one of my most memorable perfumes, and I find myself craving it when I wonder which perfume to wear today… sweet, warm and comforting.
I bought Laura Mercier’s vanille eau gourmand recently and was disappointed that it didn’t have the gorgeous depth or richness of ambre passion. Though that is still a nice scent, they are just not on the same level.

I absolutely ADORE Ambre Passion!!! It’s sooo delicious! So thick!!! So rich!!! Such a gorgeous amber. It’s so thick and toffee-like, DELICIOUS!!!; so warm and cozy and comforting. So full and rounded; slightly spicy and herby even. It’s, oh I can’t really describe how gorgeous it is!!! It’s SO beautifully blended that it’s impossible to pick out any particular notes. It’s just DIVINE!!!
It’s my major comfort scent! It’s like my best friend, who WRAPS me up in their loving embrace, and stays with me forever! It does almost last forever too! a GOOD 24hours, let me tell you!!! It’s fabulous! And my husband, and everyone else loves it too. I will build up my supply of it! I couldn’t bear to be without it ever!!!
SO WONDERFUL!!!

This is back available to buy in Space NK in the Uk. I got the last bottle where I live. I love it, it’s so rich and thick and sweet. It’s the olfactory equivalent of sticky toffee pudding and Irish coffee. Completely the wrong time of year to wear it of course but I had to buy it while I could. As soon as Autumn comes I’ll be cracking it open.

When I first sprayed this, I was alarmed that I could smell nothing at all. There was a sort of presence there, but I couldn’t actually detect it. I’m not sure what actually was going on as now, when it is sprayed, I can smell nothing else and it is glorious indeed. I’m actually quite shocked at this one as it has an unexpected salty aspect to it that sort of fizzes along in the background from beginning to end. I am guessing this is ambergris. I don’t have words to describe how much I now love this fragrance, it is the ultimate comfort scent, wrapping your up in a plush amber blanket. I detect the vanilla, but wouldn’t say it smells of vanilla. It is expertly blended such that I can pick out none of the notes. What I can say is that it is warm and cozy, that it is excellent for layering, and that I have a strong urge to purchase three more bottles before they can no longer be found. (Incidentally, it can be found at Saks and Belks which I hesitate to say lest they all get bought up, but there it is.)

This a gorgeous sweetish amber and a dead ringer for SL Ambre Sultan which I already have so I might do a swap with this. Its a lovely dry amber on the dry dowm. Moderate sillage and good longevity

as beautiful as amber can be ..as opulent as amber can get.. as wearable as amber can be..as mesmerising as the millions of decades amber has been in existence..as sensual as amber can get.. as dry and hard and strong as amber has always been.. yet as smooth velvety and true to its essence as amber is..
a true amber.. without the utter harshness of amber.. ..a beautiful done right amber.. not too strong.. and not to weak ..almost the perfect amber connotation.. for amber passionate lovers..
a mesmerising.. ambery.. benzoiny.. escense.. maybe with some hidden tonka beans.. some musk ..some vanilla.. or labdenum .. incense.. defenetly resins..defenetly magic.. defenetly mystery ..and strength in a soft spoken way..
it has a vintage vibe ..a deep.. sensual.. exotic ..hippy vibe.. just as deep as patchulie can be ..but in an ambery way.. i personally like it more than the new lumier d ambre..its more true ..more real to its roots..its a singh of freedom and equality..
its a warm.. enveloping ..cozy.. snugly scent.. that takes u back in time ..it can take you anywhere u want to be ..its a very powerful perfume.. full of emotions.. full of lust.. full of love ..full of bliss.. mystery.. and life ..with all its dimensions..
its a full bodied perfume ..its a skin scent.. its the type that will smell different on each individual.. depending on their individual chemistry making it a love or loath perfume ..but if u know how to tame it.. how to wear it.. how to concur it.. and let it do its magic on you.. if u r one of the lucky ones who can pull it off.. u r in another realm of being ..
it keeps developing ..and growing.. and mesmerising.. ..heating up your entire being.. giving whiffs of love and lust.. whiffs of hope.. and whiffs of even fear..of the unknown..because like the future we are not sure where it will take us.. we just have to believe.. and have faith ..and surrender to its strength and grace ..it can take u back or throw u a million years in a celestial sphere to the future..depending on where u r ..its a dream in a bottle..a time machine.. dont be afraid to embrace it with al your being it will give you back more than what you ever expect..

I really wanted to love this one, but there’s something to this amber that doesn’t work for me, and it’s a quality very like that of George Sand by Maitre Parfumeur et Gantier. This amber is made more heavy and languid by the very present accords of Tonka and vanilla, but tend to prefer more dry amber scents. The inescapable sweetness overwhelmed me a bit. I would enjoy smelling this on a coworker or friend, just not so present with me all day. I understand it’s hard to find, but even so, I’d recommend obtaining a decant or sample of this before you commit to a full bottle.
Quality of the scent seems good, and the longevity and sillage are intense. Pretty, just not for me.

I want to buy this perfume, but I can’t find it on the internet. Does anyone know where I can order/buy this fragrance? Thanks a lot!

I was so disappointed when this fragrance was discontinued in the US . It’s the best fragrance I’ve ever worn. I desperately want more or to find a new fragrance that comes the closest to its scent

On me this turns out the complete opposite of how it ends up on the previous reviewer. It starts quite spicy and ends up very sweet. Definitely one to try on your skin and allow to develop before making up your mind. I think this is the most feminine amber perfume I have tried so far.
It smells expensive, so on that basis it probably doesn’t scream “young” but the sweetness definitely marks it out as one of the newer perfumes on the market in my opinion. There is nothing “old school” about this perfume and probably not one for those who like very spicy quite masculine scents.
Unusual and definitely worth a try if you like amber and vanilla.

Sweet..then turns spicy on me..which I didn’t like. A friend of mine told me it’s “too old” for me.

What was that lovely scent….I was near the Laura Mercier counter when the warm, interesting aroma caught my sences. I tried the tester and went home. I just had to have it. A friend was going shopping and got it for me as I could not wait. I agree with allexa..very deep and warm amber, it lasts…a perfume for cold days to make you feel cosy.
coshka – :
